Re: Media Pet Peeves

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not American, but IA. I recently watched that doco "Life After People" - and while I'm sure it had some pretty interesting stuff in there, I just COULDN'T get past the style of it.

It was ridiculous! The overblown narration. Repeating obvious things every five seconds (because the audience must be stupid or have the memory of a goldfish). Stupid filters and effects.

If that's a reflection of what the rest of your television is like, I can understand why you're sick of it.

We have... probably ONE news channel in Australia that reports the news in an unbiased fashion (ABC). SBS and Al Jazeera are pretty good, too. The other news stations? Terrible. Everything's always a disaster or amazing. It's always pushed up to 11 and it's exhausting.

Part of the reason I don't watch the news much anymore.

I've seen that show. Sad thing, it's not even the worst. That one's actually pretty tame compared to some of the "serious" narration bullshit they're doing now. It's just so exhausting and in-your-face.

Our news is like that too. Local news isn't so bad with the hyperbole (though it's cutesy more than I like) but cable news and nightly news programs are rife with the overblown drama. It does feel like disaster porn. Like, when Katrina hit, it felt like the newspeople were wetting themselves with glee over having so much DRAMA to report.

I believe it was ABC that my parents used to refer to as "The Deadly Serious Cannel" so I can see that a lot would seem hyperbolic in comparison. :P
